Negative Capability: Reflecting on Personal and Societal Grief as Leaders & Followers
Fatema Haque

We are in the midst of unprecedented heartbreak and grief, both personal and societal. From genocides to climate crisis, school shootings to political upheavals, our world is rife with sadness and sorrow. This workshop, led by leadership educator and artist Fatema Haque, is designed to help you enhance your capacity to hold and process grief both individually and collectively.
Negative Capability is our ability to reside in a situation with an open mind and to experience the sensations, feelings, and emotions even when they are uncomfortable. In this workshop, we apply this concept to the context of grief, developing our courage and resilience to endure and transform sorrow.
Participants will engage in meditation, alter-making, art, and small group discussions, all conducted in a gentle, intentional, and slow manner. Through these activities, you will learn strategies to metabolize grief, foster a sense of community, and find solace and strength in shared experiences.
Join us for an immersive experience where you can begin to process grief with greater mindfulness and support.
